Grow Native Series
The Shrub Layer

Between the tall tree canopy and the herbaceous floor grows a myriad of shrubs that thrive in the varying light conditions of a forest.

This middle layer is composed of plants that provide shelter and food for pollinators and mammals alike.

About this series: learn about why and how to use native Virginia plants in your landscape

If you’ve heard that using native plants in your yard helps improve the environment for everyone, but are not sure why or how to do that, this series of webinars brings you up to speed on ways to turn your home garden into a native-friendly, sustainable and resilient habitat for birds and other wildlife.

This virtual series is presented via Zoom.
